Bye Bye Birdie, the Feel-Good '50s Rock 'n' Roll Musical

An affectionate satire on the popularity of '50s superstar and teen idol Elvis Presley, Huntington Beach Playhouse presents the feel-good musical Bye Bye Birdie. In the fictional world of Birdie, every teen's dream is rock 'n' roll sensation Conrad Birdie, who is about to go into the Army. His agent sees this as an opportunity for major publicity and arranges for the star to get a goodbye kiss from one lucky girl on The Ed Sullivan Show. Soon, Birdie's arrival in the small-town home of the winning girl makes unexpected waves in the lives of its residents. Winner of the 1961 Tony Award for Best Musical, Bye Bye Birdie features such beloved songs as "Put on a Happy Face," "Kids," "One Last Kiss," and "A Lot of Livin' to Do."

I have seen Bye Bye Birdie several times before and have enjoyed it greatly.It is rare that I do not enjoy a musical, but this one was BAD!!! The acting was bad. The acting appeared forced and not natural. The actors were not cast appropriately....continued
